In the Article Is Google Making Us Stupid? by Nicholas Carr I was a bit horrified by the fact that computer search engines are changing the way that our brain functions and that the world is going to be thinking and processing things different. Google is a good and bad thing for education, it holds the keys to many research projects and is a new easy way of learning a lot of the learning in school is on the internet. Google is also a very easy way to get distracted by going to different websites. Also it is a search engine that takes no effort you can just look things up very quickly and read a little paragraph with your answer, that is why our minds are changing and can’t focus as well because in Google they don’t need to. Google to the world is an important tool that people use daily and it is making us lazy because it takes no effort to look things up. Then when we actually need to look things up and study them it is hard to focus because it takes effort. But to the world it is also a good thing you can communicate with people and look up questions that need to be answered. People are so dependent on Google now though that if Google was taken out of the world then many people would suffer severely. Google overall helps us learn but also changes the way we think and how we process material, it can cure curiosity but corrupt the thinking process of life.
